re: Cowherd Just Picked the Saints to Upset the Falcons 28-26(Posted by LSUFreek on 11/9/12 at 12:09 pm to LSUzealot)

We are winning Sunday. Book it. The Falcons are ripe for the picking.

Mediocre defense, inconsistent running game have been their main issues. Should have about 3 losses so far, though I give them credit for doing what it took to remain undefeated.

But the "lone undefeated team" pressure is building so focus & discipline will start to degrade from the pressure. Factor in that every team from here on out that they will face is motivated to be the first to knock them off and who better to bring them back down to reality than their hated & currently surging rival in the Superdome.
